This study uses data from a three-year timeframe, linking sources of data on students’ recreation facility use, academic outcomes, and student records.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify trends and differences in PA between intercollegiate students in Pakistan and the US. Three hundred (167 US; 133 Pakistani) intercollegiate students completed a cross-sectional survey used to gauge the PA levels, barriers, and literacy of intercollegiate students in both countries. American students are more likely (í µí±¥ 2 =97.27, p-value <.001) to be moderate to highly physically active in comparison to Pakistani students. American female students were more (í µí±¥ 2 =97.27, p-value <.001) active than female students in Pakistan. Independent t-test showed significantly more major barriers to PA in Pakistani intercollegiate students (6.860 ± 5.56) when compared to American intercollegiate students (3.78 ± 3.94). Out of all students 59.6%, regardless of nationality, correctly recounted the standard PA recommendations, with 1.2% of those students being Pakistani. Pakistani students were physically inactive, faced more barriers, and had lower literacy of PA. This is a novel yet extremely valuable data set for understanding the current trends in the PA status of college students in the fifth most-populated country, 60% of which is younger than 30 years of age.","PeriodicalId":55615,"journal":{"name":"Recreational Sports Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44650449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the same field are multiple articulations of diversity and inclusion's high significance. The intersection of these contrasting ideas suggests there is a need to expand understanding of the role of diversity and inclusion in collegiate recreation. Exploring germane theoretical conceptualizations may allow for those stated goals to consistently align with practical outcomes, resulting in more equitable experiences for collegiate recreation's multiple stakeholders. Thus, the purpose of this article was to propose the integration of two conceptual frameworks which can be applied by researchers and practitioners to increase the scope and depth of understanding pertaining to engagement with diversity and inclusion.","PeriodicalId":55615,"journal":{"name":"Recreational Sports Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47963165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Esports has the potential to support the recruitment and retention of students while supporting the academic mission of universities through co-curricular opportunities in a variety of subject areas. Despite the broad existence of peer-reviewed research debating the consideration of esports as a sport, limited research is available that asks esports participants if they view themselves as athletes. A total of 120 participants completed a survey instrument that included items from the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale-Plus and the Quality and Importance of Recreational Services instruments.

The leadership labyrinth serves as a theoretical framework to describe the intricacies of women’s journeys throughout their professional career and personal life. The framework implies that there are walls all around and that the journey for women is complex. Human capital, gender differences, and prejudice influence women’s decisions about their professional trajectory in collegiate recreation. Using interviews of 36 women, this qualitative study used a phenomenological approach that concentrated on the direct experience of women. The study explored the trajectory of women working in collegiate recreation to understand their lived experience. Results from this study indicate four distinct themes: barriers, mentorship/allyship, self-efficacy/competence and interventions. The findings for this study provide insight into how mentors and supervisors can address organizational culture and support women’s leadership development while working in collegiate recreation. The study offers discussion and implications for future research and practice to address the complexities women experience while navigating their passage through the leadership labyrinth.","PeriodicalId":55615,"journal":{"name":"Recreational Sports Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/15588661211024315","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46657867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
